The Allingham Arms is in Bundoran about 4 miles from Ballyshannon. If you wish to give me a ring at Belleek 58327 - from Bundoran 0801365658327 during the dat I will bring you to Ballyshannon and a quick tour of the place if you are not familiar with it. Best Wishes, John Cunningham.

A book "Mysterious Boa Island" was published in 1988 detailing the history and people of the island. John Cunningham.

to Amy: Sandhurst is England's West Point -- their military academy. I have no idea what was required for admission then or now. Since their officers usually were "gentlemen" from the upper classes (rather than potato farmers) in the 19th century, perhaps your ancestor has blue blood. Was he born in Maguires Bridge or did he retire there following a distinguished military career? You might be able to trace his career through the British military web sites. I've surfed past these but didn't bookmark any -- sorry. Perhaps someone else can provide that info.

Hello All, I am reposting in the hope that someone will recognise or can help. I am searching for information on the parents and siblings of CHARLES KERR b c1830 to Patrick and Catherine(nee TERRY)possibly in Lissan,Derryvullan, Co Fermanagh. A John KERR (possibly a brother to Charles) born to Patrick and Catherine was baptised on 13 January 1841 according to Enniskillen Catholic records of baptism.Unfortunately these records begin in 1838. Charles arrived in Brisbane, Australia on 28/05/1863 on the ship "Golden Dream" having departed from Queenstown (Cobh).He wed a Mary Ellen Whelan from Co Kildare in Australia in 1867. Any information on the KERR / TERRY families of the time will be appreciated. Danny Kerr in Australia

Who was Lord Erne, seems to have played a principal role in founding the Fermanagh Herald (I hope I have the name right) of which my great-great grandfather, who was a law clerk, was the second publisher and editor? And what were his social views and politics? Also, does he have papers or anything available anywhere? I'd say off hand he knew my great-great grandfather rather well. Yours, Dora Smith cl001@freenet.buffalo.edu tiggernut@dcemail.com

So - these are the records which are known to exist in Ireland for those parishes: as per the latest publicatoin from the PRONI in Belfast. Derryvullan Clogher D. Parish: Enniskillen (Derryvullen is partly in the parish of Enniskillen) Derryvullan Clogher Diocese Parish: Derryvullen(Irvinestown) or Whitehill/Whitehall Bapt 1846-81; Marr1851-82: MIC.1D/14 The MIC is the reference to the film in belfast..
